Description In Favor Of Books The Third Circle (The Arcane Society #1.2)

Called “supremely addictive” by Booklist, the Arcane Society novels, written under both the Amanda Quick and Jayne Ann Krentz names, have pulled readers into a saga filled with steamy romance, drama, and dark intrigue. Her newest novel promises to mesmerize as well.

Leona Hewitt, disguised in men's formal evening clothes, has secretly made her way into Lord Delbridge’s private museum to retrieve a relic stolen from her family years ago. But someone else is there in the dimly lit gallery, on the same errand: a tall, black-cloaked man whose very voice is enough to put her in a trance.

Thaddeus Ware, a mesmerist with psychic energy, is accustomed to fearful reactions from others—women, in particular. After all, a man who can control the minds and actions of others could rob a lady of her virtue—without her ever knowing! But Leona shows no trace of hysteria in his presence. A force to be reckoned with as both a gifted crystal worker and a woman, she exerts a rather hypnotic power over the hypnotist himself. And she is determined to keep the coveted crystal they recovered, by giving him the slip at a run-down London inn.

Thaddeus, on assignment for the Arcane Society, knows the menace Leona is courting by absconding with the crystal. It is a source of remarkable energy, and it holds the potential for great destruction. Lord Delbridge has already killed two men to acquire it, for it is his key to membership in the elite, shadowy group known as the Third Circle. And, with the help of a seductive hunter of preternatural skill—dubbed "The Midnight Monster" by the press—Delbridge intends to find her. With the stolen crystal in their possession, the danger is only beginning.

Write-Up Out Of Books The Third Circle (The Arcane Society #1.2)
May 13, 2009: It is hard for me to be objective about Jayne Ann Krentz, so I generally give any book of hers five stars on a first reading, mainly because I'm so happy to be reading something new by her. I wasn't halfway through the book before I came to the realization that it was going to be too short. I know nothing about psychic phenomena and generally don't like it as part of the plot, so I don't know how much of this is pure fiction and how much is research. If I keep reading these Arcane

Just check this one out fo the library and am really enjoying it. Amanda Quick is often reviewed as "same old same old" but her same old is still better than any one else writing historical romance!

I think I would only read this one if you have already read and enjoyed the previous 3 in the series.

I'm enjoying the Arcane Society series. Since the books go back and forth between the 17th century and now and the main characters seem to rotate with each book, although characters from previous books seem to make cameos here and there, I don't find that the books are feeling too formuliac(is that a word?) at the moment. Each story seems fresh and new, new characters, new paranormal senses to deal with. I liked Thaddeus and Leona's relationship and that she was not in any way a whimpy Victorian

I liked the characters, including Fog. The beginning and the end were good, but I thought the middle of the story dragged on (I kept looking to see how long I had to go on the audio.) Most of the books in this series have been 3 star reads for me- so I don't think I'll continue with this series.

This one was... not great. I don't know why, but I had real trouble engaging with it in any way. Something was just off. It's not terrible, it's just... meh.I mean, my favourite parts where when we found out how chunks of the Arcane Society and Jones and Jones were formed, oh also the associated matchmaking service. Also, seeing some of the early/obscure Arcane talents is fun. I was pretty neutral on anything non-mythology related though.

I'm too far into the series now to stop and change my reading order, but sometime I'm going to come back and read these stories in chronologically to the story, instead of in the series order. This book once again jumps us back from modern times to Victorian times. The story is decent and I liked the two main characters. I don't remember much about this book, as it's been over a month since I read it, but remember that it was as enjoyable as any other book in this series.
